(Emphasis added.)Although it be a great sin to contemn or neglect this ordinance, yet grace and salvation are not so inseparably annexed unto it as that no person can be regenerated or saved without it, or that all that are baptized are undoubtedly regenerated.
In the italicized portion above, it says that it is a great sin to neglect this ordinance. I don't disagree with this at all, but I would be interested to understand more of what is behind this statement. My copy of the WCF has some Scripture footnotes and they referenced Luke 7:30 and Gen. 17:14. Are there any other passages that come to mind?
